This is apperently all Volnay fruit but veyr young vines 8-15 years old. Lower aromatics on the nose. Rather closed in, tight and bitter without much stuffing. I am not finding much in it. A touch of plastic on the nose. At $20 I can't see buying it, can't really see where to go with it either. Maybe it will soften and come out of this dumb phase?

The home vineyards are in Chassagne, with several premier cru vineyard.
Fine aromatics of cherry and crab apple.
Palate is tight, intense, linear, and chiseled. Its well defined and needs just a touch of time to relax.
